InfoSecBulletin Cybersecurity for mankind
Orange, a major French telecom company, announced on Monday that it was attacked by hackers. In the announcement, the company said that it detected a cyberattack “on one of its information systems” on July 25, and that it proceeded to “isolate potentially affected services and minimize any impact.”
Orange stated that isolating affected systems disrupted some of its platforms, business customers, and public sector services primarily in France. The announcement said that the solutions the company is implementing will gradually restore services by Wednesday, and that “there is no evidence to suggest that any internal or customer data has been exfiltrated.”

The company said in the announcement that it is engaging and informing affected customers, and filed a complaint with “relevant authorities,” without providing specifics. Companies in Europe that are subject to GDPR, the bloc’s data protection rules, are required to notify their local data protection authorities within three days of a suspected data breach.
This incident highlights a worrying trend of cyberattacks on major telecom companies worldwide. The French telecommunications sector has faced increased scrutiny from cybersecurity agencies, with France’s ANSSI warning about state-sponsored threats targeting the country’s telecommunications infrastructure for espionage purposes.
Orange’s past cybersecurity issues, like the data breaches in its Romanian operations in 2025, highlight the ongoing threats for big telecom companies.
Orange has 291 million customers in 26 countries and employs 127,000 people.
